BRADLEY TO VISIT THE EQUATORIAL LAKES INTENDS TO KILL BIG GAME Will Head Well Equipped Expedition to Victoria Nyanza and the Head Waters of the Nile Special Cable to The Herald.

LONDON, May T0 shoot big game In British East Africa Mr. J. R. Bradley, of New York, who has hunted In New Mexico, the Rockies and Alaska for twenty years, will leave here In a few days for Marseilles, en route for Mombasa, on the Zanzibar coast. Mr.

Bradley will lead an expedition, which, he says, will be the best equipped since Stanley's, and unless he succumbs to fever, to which white men fall victims in those latitudes, he expects to push across to Victoria Nyanza and the headwaters of the Nile, returning 1 to civilization by way of Khartoum. It was only last autumn that Mr. Bradley returned to New York from the far Northwest Territory, with many trophies, such as skins of grizzlies, horns of black sheep, goat, moose and caribou. Though he has twice visited Africa this will be his first hunting trip there. With him Is Mr.

E. George Turner, of Arizona, well known for thirty year 3 in the southwest as a keen huntsman and expert shot. Mr. Bradley is taking out from London a double Indian tent, furnished with everything from a bed to a portable bathtub. Though he brought over a lot of American guns, he has purchased a number of double express and other rifles for rhinoceros and elephant, and has been buying as complete an outfit as furnishers to British huntsmen know how to provide.

From America he brought six cameras of different kinds, specially made and embodying' the latest Ideas, as he is anxious to obtain a pictorial record of the trip and photographs of wild beasts in their native haunts. "Civilization is making such headway in Africa and there Is so much hunting done there now," said Mr. Bradley when I saw him today at the Carlton, "that In a few years there will be nothing left worth shooting, and I'm anxious to try my luck while there's something there. Large Escort of Natives "At Mombasa I shall have a party of 100 natives, about twenty-five of whom will be armed. We shall strike almost due west, keeping within about forty miles of the equator.

There is no season better than this, as the spring rains are just about over and the grass being long makes good grazing for animals, who are thus attracted to the open. I hope to come up with elephant, lion, hippopotamus, hyena, rhinoceros, leapard and some of the eighteen different varieties of antelope that abound In those regions. "Of course we may expect to fall a prey to fever or some climatic trouble, though we are carrying all sorts of medicines and Banltary devices of manykinds. If all goes well I hope to back In London by December." Mr. Bradley expects next year to charter a whaling vessel at St.

Johns, N. and sail for the upper part of Oreenland to hunt polar bear, Mr. Flnlayson to Bpeak Frank G. Flnlayson will address the members of the Pico Heights Congregational church this morning at 11 o'clock, giving a lay sermon on the subject, "Everlasting Life."

When the arrest was made it was on suspicion that Hooper was the man who held up and robbed Wong Sing, a Pasadena Chinaman; on the night of April 17, taking $105, and then beat his victim Into insensibility. He persisted" in declaring his Innocence of the holdup charge, but was positively identified by Wong Sing yesterday afternoon. He had no sooner been identified by the Chinaman than Officer Cronln of the United States secret service went to the police station and asked to see Hooper, declaring that he believed him to be the man wanted by federal authorities for passing counterfeit money.

His operations are said to have continued for some time, until his arrest a few days ago.

LONDON, May Ten continuous days of sunshine and with atmosphere that has grown balmy have made of London one of the most delightful of places.

Indeed, If the weather keeps up the ancient city will come to deserve the title Chauncey Depew gave it two years ago when he called it "the best watering place In Europe." Americans are still coming and going. The tide from Paris and the continent has begun to set In strongly, and at some of the more fashionable west end hotels dozens have been turned away after the arrival of the evening trains because there was no room to give them. The tea hour now sees the palm rooms at the Carlton and Savoy filled, mostly with women, for the men this year don't seem to be taking kindly to this beverage. By the way, young Rigo, who, with his Tzigane orchestra, had almost come to be regarded as part of the Carlton, has had a second successor since last summer, as the German band which followed his has Just been replaced by a Basque orchestra. Americans In Automobiles Nearly every American met over hero this spring has either been automoblllng or is about to do so.

While the severity of the English regulations is not conducive toward making such tours popular this side of the channel many visitors are braving the terrors of constables lying in wait. The roads toward Paris, by way of Dover, Folkestone, New Haven and Southampton are getting to look like thoroughfares leading out of Long Island city and the upper end of Manhattan Island, so many American automobllists are passing along them. Mr. and Mrs. W.

D. Sloane remained in London only a. few days after their arrival and they have left for a long automobile tour in France. Walter Watson and Mr. Frank Dick, who came over recently in a thirty-two horse power Mercedes, have gone back to Paris.

W. Williams and Miss Williams of Boston have left on a three weeks' automobile trip in England and Holland. New York People's Plans Col. George Harvey and J. Harper of New York have left for an automobile trip through France.

The boys and girls were as bright a lot of children as could be found anywhere in the world and they did their best to make the closing day of the festival a big success.

The chorus occupied the stage and a greater part of the main floor. The band was stationed in the center of the auditorium, and from that point was heard to the best possible advantage. "America," the festival fantasy, was the last number and the best. Innes said a few words of admonition about keeping time and then the children sang "Maryland My Maryland," "Dixie," "The Star Spangled Banner" PART If. and the national anthem In a way that caused the big audience to cheer.

Miss Kathryn E. Stone, who trained the school children, conducted the first chorus, Schubert's "Wanderings," and if the young singers showed a disposition to interpret too literally by wandering from the key and from one another their slight need of vocal finish was readily understood. It was not lack of training but embarrassment that marred the music. Their "America" showed Just what they could do. TK-e festival closed with a grand opera program.

The first number last evening was the overture to The anvil chorus from "Trovatore" made a tremendous hit. In the "Trovatore" number the festival soloists and the festival chorus were heard with fine effect. second part of the program was made up of "farewell" songs that stirred the audience to long applause. Mr. Huttman sang "Then You'll Remember Me" and Kryl played the farewell from "The Trumpeter of Soecklngeo." The festival ended with "Auld Lang Syne." Innes and his band will leave Los Angeles, carrying with them many good wishes from the thousands who have enjoyed their music.

They will be assured of cordial welcome whenever they return. WTfflK Innes at the Chutes The Innes band will play twice at Chutes park today. Matinee and night concerts will be given and all the soloists are scheduled to appear. The programs consist principally of popular and classical numbers, which have seemed the greatest favorites of the audiences at the festival in Temple auditorium. 5 UNFAIRNESS TO THE POOR LOS ANGELES, May (Editor Herald) Will you kindly give me space In your valuable-columns to say a word on the burning question of the hour, "Shall Los Angeles go dry?" I speak as a "worklngman" with a family, and I am, too, a believer in "temperance." The hot weather is at hand.

It has been my custom for years to have a pitcher of cold beer at meals for my family and self during the summer. 'Many hundreds of other laboring people do the same. The rich can keep bottled beer on Ice and can go to their clubs. Close the saloons and the poor people are deprived of certainly a reasonable privilege. Is it just? Is it worthy of a free country, such curtailment of people's liberty? Let "justice to all be done, rich and poor alike.

These preachers without a parish or a vota have no right to come here and regulate our town and families. Why not allow the poor man to buy his 6-cent or 10-cent jug of cold beer If the proposed, ordinance permits the wealthy to keep their wine cellars stocked with all. kinds of liquor? fe A VOTER.
